In my generation, I can’t believe I am using this phrase in respect to yours truly, we went to the store and bought things. We had come out of the “order from the catalog” era and having super stores, prided ourselves on the ability to have available any item our little hearts desired. As with all seasons, we have moved on.
Now we shop on line and you can literally buy anything. Clothing, groceries, real estate, sporting goods, electronics, services–you name it you can buy it. So little by little we have gotten into the online marketplace groove. Books are cheaper at half.com; we have bought and sold all kinds of things on e-bay–even made a few bucks but right now I am in the midst of either the most courageous or craziest venture of my online buying career. I have purchased 3 Morgan horses on line.
Why is this crazy (or courageous)? Well I suppose it is my conventional wisdom cropping up which suggests such a thing. I have sent $----.-- (that many figures) to someone I don't know, in another country, for animals that I have only seen on a video, whose references came on line and now I am waiting for them to come. That is I am waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiting..........................What motivated me to do such a thing will come in the form of another blog entitled “When Dreams Come True” or “When Dreams are Dashed”. Tune in for the exciting conclusion but in the mean time, have you made any daring purchases lately?
